Oliver

Before practice, Oliver tells the Gryffindor Quidditch team of Harry, Alicia, Katie, Angelina and Fred and George, he devised a new program. As they walk into the practice green, Marcus tells them they were given the practice time to train their new Seeker, Draco Malfoy. Ron walks up with Hermione Granger and asks how the Slytherin team got the Nimbus 2001's and Marcus tells him Lucius Malfoy bought them for the team. Draco comments to Ron that his father can afford the best and Hermione accuses Draco of buying himself onto the team, to which Draco calls her a Mudblood. Ron tries to cast an Eat Slugs spell on Draco with his broken wand, which backfires, causing Ron to vomit up snails and the Slytherin team including Adrian, Slyth Beater No 1, Slyth Beater No 2, Slyth Beater No 3 and Slyth Keeper laugh. During a Quidditch Match, the Gryffindor team is overwhelmed by the Slytherin team with their faster broom sticks and Lee Jordan announces another point for Slytherin. During the game, Oliver has his broom broken by a rogue Bludger. The Bludger chases after Harry who sees the Snitch and chases after it with Draco behind him. Draco crashes and so does Harry, but he manages to grab the Snitch anyways. Before their game, Professor McGonagall tells the Gryffindor Quidditch team, their match has been cancelled.
